Oh, yes. 100 meters are 100 meters all over the world, even at high school and the olympic games.
I could be wrong, but I think 1896, the fastest time was 13.0 seconds.
The Olympic Games have always used the metric system (i.e. from the first modern Olympic Games in 1896).
There has never been a 100 yards race in the Olympic Games.

The 100 yard dash was included in the Olympic decathlon until 1904, and was part of the Commonwealth Games until 1966.
Running 100 meters means you have run 109.361 yards.
They are measured in meters. Example, 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 400 meter dash, 800 meter dash, 1600 meter run, 400 meter relay, 1600 meter relay etc.

50 yards = 45.7 metres.
Using feet as a comparison: 400 meters = 1,312.34 feet 440 yards = 1,320.00 feet
10.7 100 meter dash = 9.78 100 yards
No. 100 meters is approximately 328 feet, or 109.33 yards. They are two different lengths of race. In international competition, such as in the Olympics, the metric distance is the one most often used.
In 1963, Bob Hayes set a world record of 9.1 in the 100-yard dash. However, at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, Usain Bolt established a world record in the 100-meter dash of 9.69. Today, sprint distances are measured in meters, not yards, and 100 meters = 109.361 yards. As Mr Hayes in his record-breaking effort ran 1 yard every .91 seconds, his time for 100 meters would have been at least 9.95 seconds, or more than 1/4-second (.26 seconds) slower than the record set by Mr. Bolt in 2008.
A 12.0-second 100 meters translates to a 10.9728-secondtime in 100 yards.
